Demon Child
2: Hello
She looked awkward in Pippin's trousers and Frodo's shirt. The trousers only reached her knees and the shirt just covered her upper arms. Gimli took the liberty of dressing her and oddly enough she slept through it all.
"I wonder if she'll ever wake up," Sam said while curiously examining her, "Quite an interesting creature." He lowered his face near hers carefully scrutinizing her features. He stopped and popped a cracker and some cheese in his mouth. "I haven't seen many humans," his words were unintelligible from chewing his food and talking at the same time.
"Sam, remember to save some food for her," Frodo admonished.
"Okay," he answered sheepishly and walked away from his new favorite specimen.
The elf, the dwarf and the human were still trying to figure out what had happened. Gandalf seemed pretty indifferent to the commotion.
"How did you find her?" Aragorn asked.
"She just.was there," Legolas responded not quite sure how to explain.

The piercing light from the sun attacked her eyes cracking them open like an oyster. She blinked a few times. She shook her hair off her face and used her hands to block the penetrating rays. She successfully stood up for her legs felt stronger this time. She walked towards an old looking creature.
"Hello, child."
She wondered what did the sounds 'ha-lo' meant so she repeated them, "Haaa-looo," she frowned knowing she did not pronounced her words exactly like nice wrinkled person did. "Ha. Lo." Too chopped up this time. She began to pout. Why couldn't she say it right? Not to mention, what did that mean?
She could hear two tall figures and a small stocky one babble to each other and saw four little tiny things putting stuff in a hole in their faces. She put her hand on her face and felt her lips. She licked her hand a realized it was salty.
"What's your name?"
Too many sounds! She shook her head. No! No! No! Too many things babbling at once! Suddenly, everything was quiet and she stopped shaking her dazed head. She looked around and everybody was looking at her.
"Haaa-looo," she said.
